Groundwater Awareness Week

Groundwater is the world’s most extracted natural resource, and it supports all our ecosystems. This week, let others know the importance of groundwater and ask them to pass it along.

Groundwater Awareness Week is a time to protect this precious natural resource, while it may not be visible to us, its impact is everywhere. As climate change accelerates and our environment becomes growingly unstable, groundwater will become increasingly important for the world’s most basic needs.

Almost all of the freshwater in the world is groundwater. This water sustains drinking water supplies, sanitation systems, farming and agriculture, industries, and ecosystems. The overuse and pollution of groundwater caused by human activities is creating damage faster than its recovery rate.

This vital resource must be protected before its increasing instability makes irreversible damage. Please visit their website to learn more about this cause and to see what you can do to protect Australia’s groundwater.
